SYDNEY ACM SIGGRAPH (Professional Chapter)

SIGGRAPH is best known internationally for the annual SIGGRAPH conference on computer graphics for film, television and new media, held in North America. The Sydney Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH presents a monthly meeting to benefit the digital arts industry and education community. JMC Academy hosts monthly Sydney ACM SIGGRAPH events on campus. These events are free for JMC students and staff, and for SIGGRAPH members.

Head of the Animation and Game Development courses here at JMC Academy, Sean Callinan, discusses the benefits of hosting SIGGRAPH at JMC.

‘This is such a great opportunity for our students, and having the talks at JMC Academy is a fantastic resource. It is also very beneficial for SIGGRAPH as, with a bigger space, it allows for a larger audience. As we are based in a central location in Ultimo, it is easier for not only our own students to attend, but students from surrounding schools and industry professionals working in the city. With such experienced practitioners speaking, it really is a great connection to the industry for news, knowledge and contacts.’

We look forward to future SIGGRAPH meetings at JMC Academy, and invite you to come along.

When:

The meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month from February to November in 2017!
